VKC-32 Independent four-jaw chuck, Ø 800 mm — Vertex

A VKC-32 independent four-jaw chuck engineered for heavy‑duty lathe work and precise workholding across large components.

• Independent four-jaw clamping system
• Large Ø 800 mm clamping diameter
• 200 rpm maximum rotational speed
• Robust construction, weight 265 kg

High-capacity clamping for large components

The Ø 800 mm clamping diameter provides capacity for substantial workpieces while the independent jaws permit individual adjustment for irregular shapes and offset turning. This flexibility translates into reliable datum setting and reduced setup time when fitting castings or asymmetrical parts. The design brings a balance of accessibility and control, supporting production processes that demand both capacity and repeatable alignment.

Stable rotation for heavy machining tasks

With a rated 200 rpm maximum and an overall mass of 265 kg, the chuck offers enhanced stability during low‑to‑medium speed operations typical of heavy turning and facing. The substantial mass reduces vibration and improves surface finish when machining large diameters, while the conservative speed rating aligns with safety and longevity in demanding industrial environments. This combination supports consistent part quality and lower tool wear over extended runs.

Flexible mounting adapted to workshop fixtures

Mounting is facilitated by T-slots configured for M20 fastenings, enabling secure installation on a variety of spindle adaptors and faceplate arrangements. The provision for multiple fastening points ensures even load distribution and simple integration with existing lathe tooling. Clear mechanical interfaces reduce the need for bespoke adapters and help maintain concentricity when repeating setups across medium‑ to large‑batch production.

Durable design built for industrial workflows

Constructed for repetitive, heavy‑use scenarios, the chuck emphasises robust materials and serviceability to meet shopfloor expectations. The independent clamping principle provides controlled force application to each jaw, supporting delicate adjustment without compromising grip. Backed by Vertex engineering, the solution aligns with precision workflows and contributes to predictable throughput in component turning and repair shops.

FAQ

What types of workpieces suit this chuck? The VKC-32 independent four-jaw chuck is suitable for large, irregular and asymmetrical workpieces where individual jaw adjustment is required; it performs well on heavy turning tasks.

Can the chuck be used at high spindle speeds? The chuck is rated to 200 rpm; this specification for the VKC-32 aligns with heavy‑duty turning and is chosen to optimise stability and tool life.

How is the chuck mounted to the lathe? Mounting uses T-slots prepared for M20 fastenings, allowing the VKC-32 to be secured to compatible spindle adaptors or faceplates with even load distribution.

Does the independent jaw design improve accuracy? Yes; independent jaws permit precise jaw-by-jaw adjustments so the chuck can be centred to non‑cylindrical parts, improving alignment and reducing rework on large components.

Who manufactures this chuck? The chuck is manufactured by Vertex and supplied to European customers through Metav Werkzeuge, offering industrial reliability for workshop applications.
